Collector's Notes:
Gift from T.P. Dating is approximate based on the operations of the Vitali sisters at the Laboratorio del Castellare from 1947 to 1959. This design appears to be a very close copy of one shown in the Bertinazzi sample book in additional colorways (pp. 95–96, #7, 14). See 26.088 for the same paper printed in red.
